Many places across the UK share a name, but vital factors such as amenities, community spirit and property prices are sometimes world's apart.
Liverpool was once known as the 'second city of the British empire' and many areas share a name with grand boroughs in the capital.
There are also some Liverpool's further afield - 11 to be exact - including destinations in the US, Canada, Australia, Bolivia and even Greenland.

The ECHO has taken a look at the difference in property prices in a number of places sharing a name with boroughs a bit closer to home.
Kensington vs Kensington
Two universally different places that share a name are the capital's Kensington and the Kensington we know and love in L7.
In London, the streets are lined with stately Victorian properties and embassies from around the world, while tourists flock to the likes of the Natural History Museum. It's also the home of the most expensive street in the UK, Phillimore Gardens.
The area's differences are reflected in their property prices - the average in Kensington was an eye-watering £2.2m in the last year, while properties in Liverpool's borough fetched £140,014.
Abbey Road in London vs Abbey Road on the Wirral
One stretch of road in Merseyside actually trumps its London counterpart when it comes to the price of a house, something that's rarely seen. Abbey Road in St John's Wood, London, was immortalised by The Beatles titular album which was released in 1969.
However, house prices in the NW8 postcode had an overall average price of £843,500 over the last year, while properties closer to home on Abbey Road on the Wirral went for £850,000 on average.
Although not home to a world-famous recording studio, Merseyside's Abbey Road does have its perks, especially being located in the heart of West Kirby. In October, the ECHO took a look at one house on the market there; a stunning £1m detached property with a lavish interior and spectacular views across the Welsh Hills.
Brighton vs New Brighton
Brighton may have its famous beach and iconic beach huts, but Wirral's New Brighton has its stunning promenade. Properties in Brighton sell for more than double its northern friend, going to £500,485 on average.
In New Brighton, the average was £219,678 over the last year. However, the figure is on the up, jumping by 13% compared to the previous 12 months and a massive 28% jump on the 2019 peak of £179,667.
The bustling promenade was a popular 19th century seaside resort and has had a renaissance in recent years, after undergoing a facelift.
Eastham Vs East Ham
With a population of almost 80,000, East Ham in London is a far cry from the Wirral suburb of Eastham. One of the oldest villages on the peninsula, it was actually part of Cheshire until the 1970s.
In Merseyside's Eastham you'd need on average £231,533 to secure a property, while down south you'd be looking at a heftier £400,000 for a East Ham abode.
